“If I walked down the aisle in this mom would probably die” Ruth states, while coming out the dressing room.

Ruth, Sharon, and Peggy had planned for this trip. Not that a drive to Eaton, wedding dress shopping, and dinner should take that long to plan. But Peggy was a busy girl working as an intern in a law firm and trying to travel the country with Randy. Ruth had organized the whole thing, something she was becoming rather good at. Her intension were simple, just to have a good time with her sisters before she becomes a wife. They were having fun trying to find ways to shock their mother, by trying on the most low-cut, revealing dresses they could find.

Of course, Ruth would never walk down the aisle in a dress like that, they were just having fun. Instead she searched and found something more here style; traditional and conservative. Sharon whistled the “Wedding March” as Ruth walked by her and Peggy with a pleased smile on her face.

Ruth glances in the mirror pleased with the dress but still a little uncertain. She knows the dress is pretty, at least she thinks the dress is pretty. Will Joe like? She glances at her sisters through the mirror for reassurance.

“Don’t worry, Ruth, you look wonderful. All eyes will be on you” Peggy reassure then turns to Sharon for back up “Won’t they, Sharon?”

When the host had greeted them she had asked where they would like to be seated. Peggy had said by the door, she had wanted to feel the fresh air rush into the restaurant when the door opened and closed. She soon found herself regretting her choice when the conversation turned to sex.

Peggy didn’t bother to respond she just wished they would lower their voices. She wasn’t sure but she would have placed a large bet that the host overheard their conversation.

Peggy signed with relief when the waiter brought out the food and the champaign they ordered. What would their mother think if she could hear and see her daughters talking about sex, loudly, and in public.

“A toast to the important things in like: Family, Love, and Happiness” Ruth announces interrupting her thoughts.

“Family, Love, and Happiness” Sharon and Peggy echo.

At that moment Jennifer was not worried about her daughters. She was enjoying her own meal with Mindy. Listening to the child talk about a flock of birds she watched fly over the house and enjoying the wonder in the girls voice.
